Adding DataBlob/DataBlobHash at room level for reader parity was wrong, and the
dorm is what proved it: rooms came back "the data in the room you are trying to
load is corrupt", and every room loaded fine before the key existed.
Which blob a room loads is decided per INSTANCE and per SUB-ROOM, not per room.
The matchmake response carries it (a dorm's is per-player,
dorm_p{id}_v*.dat) and each sub-room carries its own. A room-scoped answer to
the same question is one the client preferred, and for a dorm it named a file
that was never written.
A registered slot does not oblige us to fill it: Newtonsoft leaves an absent
key at its default, which is the state every room loaded in. The parity test
records both keys as deliberately omitted with the reason, so restoring them
takes a decision rather than a tidy-up.
Also drops the room-level/sub-room DataBlob invariant test added an hour ago —
there is no room-level DataBlob left for it to check.
Note for the clone bug: the captured response now shows the clone carries all
41 keys the reader registers and the client still rejects it, so key parity is
NOT that failure. It is a value the reader refuses, not a missing name.
